Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to discuss immigration.
You stated in the road map for federal institutions' obligations that you presented that a francophone immigration policy “must therefore be supported by in-depth analyses and include targets that, if achieved, will enhance the vitality of French linguistic minority communities”.
At the same time, many university representatives who have appeared before this committee have told us that a francophone immigration policy wasn't compatible with the ceiling that the Department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, or IRCC, has announced for international students. Francophone universities are requesting a specific exemption from that policy.
How can we help francophone universities that claim francophone immigration will suffer as a result of IRCC's decision?
